My male gopher has regurgitated his last couple meals. I have been moving him around quite a bit do to a new overall cage build for my collection. So far I have attributed the actions to poor husbandry on my part and stress. I have had to piece these racks together. I was trying to get him to move just now while I was installing a hot spot for him. He began hissing quite a bit. As I reached in with my tongs to move him and he let out one big hiss. With that his came a big gulp of fluid that he seemed to choke on as he swallowed it back down. So I peeled his mouth open a bit and everything appears clean. As he hissed a few times there did not appear to be any discoloration.

I was not overly concerned with the regurgitation he is fire cracker after all. I have never seen a snake spit up fluid however. Combine the two and it could spell disaster.
